Bill, those are favorite birding spots for me, and apparently for you, as well. Great shots all.

It's hard to beat those spots. Of course Ft. Desoto is not bad either.

Wow Bill, stunners all. If this doesn't get me pumped up for a spring trip nothing will. Three months and counting...

Outstanding shooting buddy.

I hope you and yours had a great holiday. Happy New Year!
